Never heard of modaco before. Are his ROMs good?

I was initially wondering if I should get this device as it seems like there is lack of developers' support.
With support from paul, I am sure we can get a satisfactory custom rom.
Looks like I can order mine now.

Yeah Paul at Modaco is talented.... I have used his custom ROMs before on my Hero, must say i was very impressed! Hope the VillainROM team also get involved with this phone!

He has also done some excellent work on the Nexus 1. He was the first to bring out a Sense Rom for it.

Yeah ive been using VillainRom for my Hero for over a year now still keeps up with my girlfriends "stock" SGS! Pulser is the man, hes been saying how he doesnt like LG based on previous phones etc.... but i just hope he see's sense and starts developing for this monstor!

Yes!
Personally the LG 2X is the only interesting phone which is coming out now.
Galaxy S II -- too big
Desire S -- lol
Only the Motorola Atrix might be interesting as well, but the 2X seems to have better materials used.
With Paul on the phone, i'm sure the phone will get a great dev phone and a lot of custom roms.. (ok, i only hope..)
Just waiting for the first Gingerbread 2.3 ROM running on the 2X and i'll get one.
Good bye Desire (even it is one of the best phones i've ever had)

@Atomicman
i tested the sgs2 at the cebit few days ago and i was shocked how laggy this thing was.
maybe samsung will fix it until the official release but after that experience i'm 100% going with the optimus2x

Also thought long about that, and chose the O2X.
As you say:
SGS2 - too big
Desire S - with dual-core would be cool, but isn't
Atrix - locked bootloader is a shame
Just hope that community support will bring O2X long life!

i just got mine LG Optimus 2x and WAUW!!!
LG has done a really good job, I'm so impressed with the speed of this device - no buggyness and no laggyness
The stock is very nice although it's 2.2.1..
But I want custom ROMs NOW!!!

Paul, with the Acer Liquid, buyed it and selled it like a month later for a nexus one (if I remember well). So we must "pray" that he will not buy a Galaxy S2 or something as soon as it comes available

Want to change my phone - need opinions

Hi
I know this is not P500-related but I really need some opinions as I am really confused.
I want to change my phone in october (waiting for my contract to expire so I can change it) and I want to change my phone also. So, these are the phones I'm considering (prices for the contract I will most likely get, but probably I will get a bigger one so the phones will be a bit cheaper)
- Sensation - 289eur; really like this phone, I love the way it feels in my hand, nice build quality, nice design, nice resolution (but not very bright). Cons: not as fast as a dual-core should be, risk of having the famous display bug (50-50 odds as I read)
- SGS2 - 379eur; fastest there is, gorgeous colors on the display, 21mbps hsdpa. Cons: doesn't feel nice in my hand, crappy plastic case (when you buy a premium phone you expect great quality).
- Xperia Arc - 239eur; gorgeous phone, I simply love the way it looks, great display and good build quality. Cons: 320mb internal mem, 1ghz single core (not a big con, the way this phone looks simply makes for it)
- Incredible S - 249eur; not sure if it's worth over the Xperia S but I'm considering it anyway
What I want from a phone: first of all I want it to be a good phone, so I don't want crappy in-call quality and signal issues. Second, I want it to look and feel good, after all I'm spending money on an object so I want it to be well-made.
I don't want to mod it, the only reason I'm modding my O1 is because it's too slow with stock rom. I want a phone that doesn't need modding.
I can only buy phones from Vodafone RO, so I'm pretty limited in options. I would love a Sensation XE or Arc S but I don't know when or if vdf will sell them.
I put SGS2 on the list but I don't know if it's worth the 90eur difference, especially because I need to change the tires and the brakes on my car so I have other pretty important things to do with extra money.
So I'm waiting for your advices or other suggestions (for other vdf phones: https://www.vodafone.ro/personal/internet-oriunde/internet-pe-mobil/smartphones/index.htm - these are some of the phones in the vdf deals, other phones are too pricy with a contract)

too much to read for me^^

if you like quality things, i suggest going for the htc sensation.
not to mention that the sensation's forum on xda is quite impressive (im talking mostly about the developmental section)
EDIT: just read that you dont plan on modding your phone. but regarding the sensation xe:

If I were you, from those alternatives I'd go with the Sensation or Xperia Arc, and then mod it to solve the speed or memory size issue. My brother has a SGS II and I must say I don't really like it, as you say the plastic body doesn't feel nice to hold. Looks wise Arc is the most beautiful.
And I don't know if it's just my brother's settings but the SGSII UI doesn't feel so smooth either, compared to my O1 with CM7.

sgs 2 all the way

That's really interesting; even though I said I don't want to mod my phone anymore, that sounds like something worth done.
I just read on gsmarena that HTC wants to make the following changes for Sensation 4G: overclock to 1.5ghz, change the battery. So if HTC will upgrade the non-4G models also I will get a Sensation without second thoughts.
Another plus for the Sensation: Sense UI; way better and more smartphone-like than Samsung's childish iphone-like touch-wiz. But in performance terms Samsung is simply better. I gotta decide if the performance plus matters that much to me...
Thanks for your opinions
By the way - I forgot one important thing: the phone must be updatable to ICS; SE confirmed that the Arc will receive ICE, Samsung didn't say anything but for sure they will update their flagship. HTC also didn't say anything but will there be a reason for Sensation not to receive ICS?

SGS2 is for the moment out of the question. As I said, I have other plans with my money and I don't think that a phone is worth it.
So, I want to make a decision: Arc or Sensation? Is the not-so-fast Sensation worth over the excellent-looking Arc? Price difference: 50eur, so not a big difference. The Arc has an excellent camera, excellent display, gorgeous design and great build quality. The Sensation has the dual-core advantage but it's actually not so fast in real life; sometimes it behaves like a bad 1ghz single core. And there's a thing that bothers me: I closed all the running apps and the remaining RAM was still 150mb (tried on 3 different devices and also saw it in a review).
The only thing keeping me from buying dirrectly the Arc is the 320mb internal memory.

Really happy, after I updated it to 2.3.4 and flash to 10.3 I managed to play flawlessly a 1080p YouTube clip (gsmarena said that it would crash on 1080p, totally not true). The display is great, now the p500 display looks funny )

Would you reccomend the optimus 2x?

I am currently using a Motorola defy but am looking at upgrade options. The 2x is by far the cheapest dual core regarding the plan i have in mind of taking with my provider. So, Im interested if someone could tell me what were your experiences after some time of use....i am mostly concerned by the reliability and the number of different problems that people seem to be having with this model hardwarewise...is the build quality really somewhat below standard od are those just som erotten apples?
Also, regarding rooting, flashing and all similar procedures, how would you rate the respective ease of those activities on the 2x comparing to other handsets?

Not recommended.. buy Samsung Galaxy S II..
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

Yeah, if you want good dual core phone go for Samsung galaxy sII, HTC sensation or simply wait for nexus prime.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

hell no.
if you want a cheap dual core, get the atrix
if you want to be absolutely satisfied with your phone, get the galaxy s2

wow, that bad or are you just being ironic
Guess it is going to be saving time then because the other options are at least 50% more expensive from my standpoint.

Optimus just needs more ram
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk

There are better phones out there, I agree, but the 2x holds its own. I'd say go for it if you are on a tight budget.

We are not ironic, just do a search on xda, and you'll find 20 more topics about how ****y o2x is.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

No.
As others have pointed out:
Sensation (and XL) and Galaxy S2:
- Have much better versions of Android installed by default.
- Have better screens and hardware in general.
- Have companies who have improved their updating policy greatly.
Not to mention Nexus Prime, if the one who is asking is willing to wait.
Even after installing custom ROMs on this thing, I sometimes miss my HTC Desire with Oxygen ROM.

no due to the fact it's a LG phone. Spec wise the phone is great, stock software is ****. Other phones and companies seem to get updates out faster i would recommend anyone other one of them.

Like i keep saying.
Optimus 2x = Great hardware and built quality (GS2 built quality sucks IMO)
= Bad stock Rom.
So!
If your planning on installing a custom rom, like cyanogenmod, its probably the best device for the price by a mile. Am more than satisfied with CM. It's super fast stable and responsive.
If your planning to stay on stock, dont bother.
Period

I am on stock euro open v10d,and it is flawless!
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

If you plan on using custom firmware I would recommend it, especially cm7 feels great if you can do without fm radio.
If you're buying a phone planning to stay on the default firmware, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App

I can really recommend this phone. Good bang for the buck.
I have no BSOD. Maybe a reboot once a month.
Good camera. Latest software quite good.
I'm going to try CM7 next since it got A2DP support now.

Don't buy lg, no updates
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

It's a good phone.
Stock software was really bad at first, latest Froyo (and baseband) works good but flashing newer custom ROM's based on GB leaks made it awesome
Our developers always have something better to work with, even without full support by LG or nVidia. I mean, just look what Samsung and Sony Ericsson did by recognizing community efforts and I believe LG will do the same, in time. After all, Optimus 2X was their first attempt to play hi-end game and was released only 9 months ago. So stop whining. HTC was on the same level just last year... Been there, done that - I had HTC Hero. Now they are praised, but last year only hated.
Never tried CM, there were too many setbacks at first, some are solved by now but really never had any need... Just waiting for Topogigi's 2.0 and new HP kernel. Don't expect too much from LG, follow xda devs and Paul from MoDaCo of course. Flashing is easy and device is un-brickeable

Yeah, I was thinking if I buy it to definitely flash some custom rom so this is good info, thx .

I can only recommendation the phone, i know five people with the ox2 and no one has hade any problems. I have tried cm and the leaked ginger but i am back on stock rom now.

hi, about to buy an optimus 2x, any suggestions?

just broke my galaxy s for the third time, so i think its time to move on. i have to decide to move to an optimus 2x, or an atrix. what u guys think? From what i saw, optimus have a better camera, what means a lot for me, lg have the best cellphone cameras imo. atrix have what it seens a little more speed and more space (16gb)
what do you guys suggest me?

I would not but a LG ever again. Imho Sony camera is much better.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

sony camera is cool too, but locked bootloader and still no dual core phone (or am i late?)

o2x imo is better than the atrix, the atrix has more memory so if that's what your after then get that, i love the design and shape and size of my o2x and if it wasn't for the ****ty lg support and nvidia ****ing with us by holding back vital drivers needed for ICS dev then this phone would be the best iv ever had.
The camera is pretty great iv never seen the atrix camera so cant compare tho.
The benchmarks tests always seem to show the o2x to be ahead of the atrix even tho they both have a tegra 2 chipset.
But with the customs roms this phone is pretty decent, its fast responsive, get a custom home screen and it will be smooth as you can imagine, the lg home screen is rather choppy but i use it because i like the way you can organize apps and games into separate category rather than just throwing them together into a big mess if you can do that with adw or go launcher then someone please tell me how so i can switch.
I only paid £200 for my o2x brand new so i cant complain too much, defo worth it compared to the 400-500 they are asking for that overpriced crap called the sgs2, decent phone.... ****ty price tag, no phone is worth that much.

In Australia there are close to no people using Optimus 2xes due to no one selling them on plans/contracts. Every second person has a galaxy s2 though so they can't be that bad.
I would lean towards avoiding the atrix due to the locked bootloader. Apparently there's a 50% chance of bricking it.

If you can get it for £300 or less this is an amasing phone with cyangemod on it. Nvidias playing ball now so ics will be brill on here.

It's quite possible that they sent RC what he needed, he's been asking them since day one, and is a serious coder, rather than the 'cook' type 'dev'.
I would say get one, the stock GB is apparently much improved over froyo, and CyanogenMod is just great, that's the reason I bought mine in the first place.
If I hadn't have managed to get a freebie, I'd keep mine.

For its money LG O2X is the best phone.

Please, don't buy that phone!
It's have the worst supported in the WORLD.
Nvidia and LG = S**T
I sell my phone, and Im really happy with that choice.
And I don't wanna see that phone again.
The best choice for you is the HTC, more beautiful and intuitive homescreen, custom roms, etc...
And forget about the Galaxy S2, this only good because the Super Amoled, and Camera, nothing more...

dude its a lovely phone.. go for it.. with stock gingerbread, its awesome no more stupid issues..

the htc high end smartphones not near as fast like the o2x or the sgs2, the hardware component quality is low, if htc not change that it will be died. maybe the rom is good but it just candy.. if you want a phone what is broken often go ahead and buy a htc. i had many htc, i never ever want again.
sgs2 it will be a good choice if isn't very overpriced. by the way the samsung company almost act like the apple, soon booth company will be in the android users blacklist. o2x is a good choice but the stock lg rom is a crap, you need to flash one of the custom roms!

I just picked one up very happy with it running cm7 only came from a blade tho so much better.

I think it's worth it.

worth buying WEEELLLL for me it was .... i got one for a lil less than 100euros, for a 2011 high class smartphone its golden (all accessory original box delivery inclued)
funniest i had a GT-I9000 he died, but the cheapest i could find beside that P990 was merely 50/100 euros more ... weird for a 2yrs old middle class smartphone (still the SGS is a wonderfull phone (normal one not S+ or other)
worth it? definitely!
the only thing that bugged me was Nvidia policy wich make the GT-I9000 more lively when it come to custom roms but XDA proved i can get ICS delicacy on mu P990 too

I managed to pick one up for £120 on eBay the other month. Quite chuffed with it so far. It's faster than my previous devices and the screen is much nicer.
I'm currently running Gingerbread MIUI but fancy trying something different.

the only thing that bugged me was Nvidia policy wich make the GT-I9000 more lively when it come to custom roms but XDA proved i can get ICS delicacy on mu P990 too

I've also had original sgs. Awesome device. Voodoo sound, rom support, great.

Hey all,
I saw an offer: used optimus 2x for 100euros.
Question is: Is optimus worth buying? What about custom rom support? Is it decent anymore?
Many thanks for your answers in advance

is it worth it? it all depends on what you wanna do with it, how much patience you have with LG's (lack of) support, and whether you enjoy flashing nightlies/kangs that are still under development.
I bought mine second hand at a similar price as yours, and for me, yes, it was definitely worth it. It's my first smartphone and for the combination of reasons stated above, I have quickly became a flashholic and frequent visitor to the xda. As a results, I've learned a lot about Android phones and became a passionate loyal fan of them, as well as a grateful supporter if the awesome developers in these forums.
So, again, it depends on why you're shopping for one but it was worth it for me.

If its from XDA then ou can call ait totally worth it. Even same foot as a sgs III or a on X (with less power offcourse)

100eur it is very good deal for the performace which you will get.. Overclock up to 1.5ghz, smooth tegra2 cpu, on stock rom I had weak battery, now i use tamasek's rom and on 1.3ghz it is so much better, but still best results on CM9, but it is useless without a cam and hardware support, so if you want to wait for official ICS release, you should get it. But keep in mind, try to never drop it, it is definitely not shock proof

It's a decent dual-core phone, probably not the best. but for 100
I'm not sure you'd get a better deal elsewhere. It overclocks easily
and Jellybean is going to come out and it should be interesting to see
what happens with our LG02X

heh.. mate, they struggle to give us ICS and you dream about JB ?

thanks for your opinions. So official ICS update is on the way?
but if not, that's not a big deal, I like cm perfomance and I dont like bloats very much (but sense and touchwiz are good)

I said JB in general, mind you once/if the drivers are released for ICS, JB isn't that big a step up. Even if the right drivers aren't released, JB roms should come out for O2X once the source code is out in 2 weeks, whether some things work or not!

For that sort of price you could do a lot worse, I've had a rough relationship with my o2x with it being full of bugs but it's worth it for those times that it does what it's supposed to. The only word of warning is it needs flashing, the stuff LG put on there isn't great so i've warned a few friends off knowing i'd be there technical support when they inevitably brick it, but as your on here I'm sure you'll be fine with this side of stuff.

i fall in love with this phone is a beast with full of feature, the 4.0 inch IPS lcd display is better than samsung super amoled the colour is super natural and solid

If LG launched ICS, the devs here on XDA would certainly make a modified version of that ROM, and then we would unleash the phone's real power...
...but since the people at LG are a bunch of retards, I don't think it's worth waiting for an official update...

I agree the display is beautiful... I've got friends using iPhone and they were still surprised how bright the display on this phone was....
Before using it, I had a HTC desire, and if people complained about the LG draining the battery too quickly, compared to my desire, the battery still lasts longer.
And so far, people complain about o2x rebooting for no reason, even if it did happen to me, so far it hasn't been a disturbance...
All in all, I think it is a great phone
